- We deepen our knowledge of God, His character, and see that depth reflected in how we live our lives]]> 2021-12-16 12:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rachia4/v3e5zhxdr6wdfyrm/wish/1951596067 rachia4 https://padlet.com/rachia4/v3e5zhxdr6wdfyrm/wish/1951604642 Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love

Here I raise mine Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I'm come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand'ring from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let thy goodness, like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

All else, I adore Your name
Above all else tune my heart to sing Your praise
Above all else, I adore Your name
Above all else tune my heart to sing Your praise
Above all else, I adore Your name
Above all else tune my heart to sing Your praise
Above all else, I adore Your name
Above all else tune my heart to sing Your praise

The highest praise
The loudest praise
To the name above every name

- For us to continue to be good witnesses to them
- For us as a cell to reach out as a group]]> 2021-12-16 12:57:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rachia4/v3e5zhxdr6wdfyrm/wish/1951637345 rachia4 https://padlet.com/rachia4/v3e5zhxdr6wdfyrm/wish/1951646422 He's coming on the clouds
Kings and kingdoms will bow down
And every chain will break
As broken hearts declare His praise
For who can stop the Lord Almighty

Our God is the lion
The Lion of Judah
He's roaring with power
And fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before Him
Our God is the lamb
The lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world
His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow before the lion and the lamb
Every knee will bow before Him (yeah)

So, open up the gates
Make way before the King of Kings
The God who comes to save
Is here to set the captives free
For who can stop the Lord Almighty

For who can stop the Lord Almighty
Who can stop the Lord Almighty
Who can stop the Lord Almighty

Without hope, without light
'Til from Heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfill the law and prophets
To a virgin came the word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt

Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings

To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation
You did not despise the cross
For even in your suffering
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation
Jesus for our sake you died

And the morning that You rose
All of Heaven held its breath
'Til that stone was moved for good
For the Lamb had conquered death
And the dead rose from their tombs
And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who'd come
To the Father are restored
And the church of Christ was born
Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this gospel truth of old
Shall not kneel, shall not faint
By His blood and in His name
In His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me]]> 2021-12-16 13:08:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rachia4/v3e5zhxdr6wdfyrm/wish/1951660499 rachia4 https://padlet.com/rachia4/v3e5zhxdr6wdfyrm/wish/1951675997 Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly, sweetly through the night
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brief delight

Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing,
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.]]> 2021-12-16 13:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rachia4/v3e5zhxdr6wdfyrm/wish/1951675997 rachia4 https://padlet.com/rachia4/v3e5zhxdr6wdfyrm/wish/1951686013 O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the King of Angels

O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation
Sing all ye citizens of heav'n above
Glory to God
Glory in the highest

Ye Lord we greet thee
Born this happy morning
Jesus to thee be all glory giv'n
Word of the Father
Now in flesh appearing

It is not so much a reflection but one of the main themes of our nightly family prayers. We introduce this side of God early because we think Asher needed and still needs a lot of comfort when we are not with him in school. ]]> 2021-12-17 13:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rachia4/v3e5zhxdr6wdfyrm/wish/1953673819 Merciful - Char https://padlet.com/rachia4/v3e5zhxdr6wdfyrm/wish/1953678711 He has been severely merciful to bring our trials to some kind of end, even if it's not what I would wish upon anyone - job losses, friendship losses, loss of family. In the mess of it all He has also not pushed us beyond what we could bear. As soon as we articulated it was enough, He closed each chapter off. The processing of every loss has been rough, but even then he rounds up community to remember us, He breaks down our defences so we can see and repent of where we have gone astray. Most of all I am reminded that it is never enough to simply be made aware of the utter depravity of our human condition, but ultimately, that we are embraced by the unending and all-encompassing love of Christ that is the gospel. ]]> 2021-12-17 13:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rachia4/v3e5zhxdr6wdfyrm/wish/1953678711 https://padlet.com/rachia4/v3e5zhxdr6wdfyrm/wish/1953679078 Protector - Jason
